Hey,

Does anyone know good cheap places where i can repair my rims? I've got a few dents and scratches in mine that i want to get rid of.

I've enquired at D Sports and he said about $50-80 per rim depending on damage. I also read up on Dylans DIY but i'm not confident enough. So just looking at my options.

Cheers.

Sounds like a good price but make sure you take a look at a sample of their work!

New HR125's are about $245 retail FYI if you get desperate :lol:

P.S. Limza you really should trade the bronze for a fresh coat of white... You should see mine :D :D

White one white 1ZZ FTW

P.P.S. What sort of hub rings are you using? Also take off the plastic-chrome centre caps, it looks WAY better, and nobody knows what brand your rims are

I dont have the dough to get new rims.

I always was going for the white on white look. Until i came across these. I just love the contrast it gives. Maybe you should powder coat yours bronze. :spiteful:

Hub rings?? Sorry i dunno what they are. I know what the hub is, but ring? and will do for the chrome centre caps.

Haha I do like the bronze but I'm a white man now! Definitely $80 is a fair price for the repairs though.

Your tyre fitter probably organised them without saying anything but here's some info from a previous thread

but Hub rings ...

they are polycarbonate rings they do not corrode, cause rattling, or show signs of wear like metal! polycarbon is extremely durable and forms a tighter seal between the hub and the wheel. these will not melt, crack, or break over time under normal use. suitable for street and track use.

Hub rings are designed primarily for aftermarket wheels which tend to have an oversized centre hole, to cater for all spigot designs. The vertical loads of the wheel are supposed to be transmitted through the spigot, and the hub ring ensures that the wheel sits on the hub as opposed to transmitting the loads through the wheel studs (which are there purely to transmit torque)

I took them to D Sports and the rim i had a few gutter rashes on was repaired for $50 and another rim that had a buckle plus gutter rashes for $90. IMO i think it's a reasonable price. The second rim was $90 due to the fact he had to heat the rim up to be able to bend the rim back in shape. I'm picking up the rims tomorrow so will tell you guys the quality of the work.

Oh and thanks Pete for the contact. Maybe next time ill give them a call.

OH.....Where can we buy the hub rings? and size? :unsure:

I got mine from USA 54.1mm to 76mm for my rims $35.00 for all 4 .. some people say they got theres for free but you will just call around tyre places ... or call the company of your rim ..eg ANZ ...simmons ...etc

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
